ORAL COMMUNICATIONS
Allan Letkof, 13 I SugarloafDrive, said that he was "co-head" of TRAUMAS, which stands for
"Tiburon residents against Unfair MERA antenna siting." Letkof said that the group wanted to
stay in good communication with the Town and Staff to find a solution to the siting of the
antennas on behalf of all the residents of Tiburon, not just the residents of Sugarloaf Drive.
Lynn Fox, 128 SugarloafDrive, said she supported Allan's proposal to help anyone in Tiburon
with this situation. She said she still hoped that an alternate site would be found in a non-
residential neighborhood, and asked the Council to "work with us to keep our community safe
and secure."

PUBLIC HEARING
7. Appeal of Design Review Board Decision - Approval ofa new single-family dwelling
located at 124 Leland Way
Assessor's Parcel No. 34-175-05
Applicants - Jeff Houston and Tracy Lee
Appellants - Jennifer and Janet Carter
Senior Planner Watrous presented the Staff report. He said that the Design Review Board had
first reviewed the project on April 4, 2002. At that time, numerous property owners in the
surrounding Bel Aire neighborhood had expressed their concerns about the construction of the
proposed two-story house at 124 Leland Way. The issues raised were those of potential sunlight
and privacy impacts on adjacent homes; the height, mass and bulk of the proposed design; and
whether a two-story home was compatible in the predominantly one-story residential
neighborhood.
According to Watrous' report, the Board shared many of the concerns expressed by the
neighbors; in particular, finding that the proposed house was too tall, had excessive mass and
bulk, and would create privacy impacts on the neighboring homes.

Although the Board in general thought that a two-story home could be properly designed on the
site, Watrous said that it determined that the proposed design was inappropriate for the particular
property and for the neighborhood. The Board continued the hearing to the May 16, 2002
meeting, and gave direction to the applicants, Jeff Houston and Tracy Lee, to address these
concerns.
The applicants submitted two sets of revised plans. The first set did not change the side yard
setbacks or the second story area, and resulted in an increased floor area ratio. After reviewing
these issues with Staff, the applicants then requested another continuance of their application to
the August 15,2002 DRB meeting and submitted further revised plans for the Board's review
and subsequent approval.
The approved plans included changes to the overall building height and modified setbacks, and a
reduction in size of the second story; however, the plans increased the overall size and lot
coverage of the house, according to Senior Planner Watrous.
Mr. Watrous said the Design Review Board determined that the modifications significantly
addressed the concerns regarding privacy and sunlight blockage previously raised by concerned
neighbors. The Board also determined that the two-story house, as redesigned, would be
consistent with the requirements of the Tiburon Zoning Ordinance and would not be
incompatible with the character of the Bel Aire neighborhood.
--
Watrous' report stated that the Board then voted 3-0-2 (with Boardmembers Comstock and
Teiser absent) to approve the application as submitted. On August 26, 2002, an appeal was filed
by the adjacent neighbors, Jennifer and Janet Carter, 130 Leland Way.
Senior Planner Watrous delineated the grounds of the appeal:
1. The subject house would be incompatible with the character of the Bel Aire
neighborhood;
2. The size of the subject house would be inconsistent with the Town's floor area ratio
guidelines which discourage overbuilding;
3. The decision that the subject house would not result in impacts on the privacy, view and
light and air of neighboring homes is unsupported by evidence in the record.
4. There were errors and omissions contained in the application and Staff reports presented
to the Design Review Board.
After covering Staff's responses to these issues, Mr. Watrous said that the DRB had followed the
Town's guidelines for Site Plan and Architectural Review in making its fmdings and approving
the project. He stated that although the Town's current zoning ordinance did allow for two-story
houses in the Bel Aire area, the Board recognized that a nwnber of residents in Bel Aire were
opposed to the construction of any two-story homes in their neighborhood.

According to Senior Planner Watrous, the Design Review Board recommended that if these
residents desired such a prohibition, the appropriate course of action would be to request the
Town Council to initiate a zoning code amendment to modify the requirements of the R-I-BA
zone. Mr. Watrous therefore recommended upholding the Design Review Board's decision in
this matter.
Mayor Gram opened the public hearing.
Former Mayor Jerry Thayer read the following letter into the record (excerpts below):
"Good evening, my name is Jerry Thayer, I've lived at 158 Blackfield Drive for going on 20
years. I will summarize the issues as I see them in this appeal...".
"This is the first two-story project proposed in Bel Aire since annexation in 1984. It is the
maximum size allowed by the zoning ordinance and is significantly out of character with the
neighborhood. The 181 unit neighborhood is composed entirely of single story homes, but for
two exceptions built before annexation. Neither the staff nor the Design Review Board (DRB)
made a meaningful analysis of the project impact on the neighborhood required by the Guiding
Principles of Section 4.02.07 of the Zoning Ordinance. Instead the DRB, three members
attending, approved the project as presented on the assumption that final review would be made
by the Town Council."
r"
". . .At the top of page five of the [Staft] report a conclusion is stated that 'the proposed house
would not appear to be consistent with much of the overall current development pattern of this
neighborhood,'. The writer then states the project is consistent with what the writer believes is
consistent with future development of the neighborhood despite the provision in Section 4.02.07
of the Guidelines which expressly states that 'in single story neighborhoods two stories shall be
discouraged. ",
"... The neighborhood should not be destroyed by a piecemeal approval process. If a policy of
change in the character of the neighborhood is to occur, it should be done with proper notice and
review by the Planning Commission with ample opportunity for measured public input. Proper
planning would produce a superior result and could well result in continuing the existing policy
of discouraging two story homes in single story neighborhoods."
"... the appeal should be granted and the proposed project denied."
Mr. Thayer added that the "feeling of openness and sense of ridgelines and sky are the 'persona'
of our neighborhood," a feeling which would be altered if second-story homes were allowed.
Fred Starr, 160 Leland Way, spoke on behalf of the appellants. Mr. Starr said that he had 30
years of engineering experience and on that basis, he had prepared drawings for the Council
which showed how the proposed home would look from Jennifer Carter's house and from Leland
r" Way. He said that none of the applicant's drawings showed this same kind of scale, as
Town Council Minutes # 23-2002
September 18, 2002
Page 5
I'"
recommended by the DRB guidelines. Mr. Starr said that his drawings showed the bulkiness of
the project and its impacts on the sunlight, views, and privacy of the Carters.
Mr. Starr said that not one of the residents on Leland Way supported the project and asserted that
a one-story home could be built that would still have a sizeable backyard, as desired by the
applicants. He said that the proposed project was larger than most of the Bel Aire homes and that
although the neighborhood was evolving, a "thoughtful" single story addition or remodel that
retained the "ranch style character" of the neighborhood would be preferable.
Mr. Starr showed photographs of eight different Bel Aire homes that had been remodeled as one-
story houses. In response to a question from Mayor Gram, he said that he did not have the square
footage of these remodel projects.
Hugh Carter, architect residing in Santa Cruz, brother of appellant Jennifer Carter, also spoke on
appellants' behalf.
Mr. Carter said there were "errors and inaccuracies" in the information provided to the DRB and
Council in the Staff reports. He said that his calculations showed a larger floor area which would
increase the size of the house by 319 square feet.
Councilmember Fredericks asked whether the calculations were based on total area rather than
the "living area" calculations utilized by Staff.
,-'
Mr. Carter said this was a very important point and contended that the applicants had in fact
turned part of the garage into living area while counting the square footage as part of the garage.
He said that the Code allowed the garage exclusion on the basis that the space would be devoted
exclusively to parking or storing cars and not to other uses such as a laundry room and mud room
that were part of the applicants' plans.
Councilmember Berger said that the distinction was made by Staff on the basis of the one-hour
wall separating these areas. Mr. Carter replied that the Staff report provided to the Council
addressed this issue while the report provided to the DRB did not. He concluded that if the
square footage was recalculated it would result in a higher FAR rather than the maximum
allowed by Town Code.
Mr. Carter further contended that the case had not been made by the applicants to justifY the
construction of a two-story home, and that the Zoning Ordinance guidelines said to compare an
application to the existing residence rather than what the future might bring.
On the issues of sunlight blockage and privacy, Mr. Carter said that the comparison by appellants
of tall trees blocking sunlight was not a fair one, as trees lose their leaves in winter while a
second story would be visible at all times. He said that the home would sit on a raised floor, on a
nine-foot plate, and would have sloping eaves taller than the other eaves in the area.

Applicant Jeff Houston made his presentation. He said that the Staff report clearly addressed the
issues and that both Staff and the Design Review Board had acted to uphold the Town's
ordinances. He said that he and his wife had done everything possible to comply with the
Town's requirements.
Mr. Houston said that the DRB was an "investigative arm" of the Town Council that had
performed its job. He said that one of the neighbors had commented that the DRB had been
"extremely fair" in its review.
Mr. Houston said that 19 two-story houses has been built over the last 20 years in Belveron West
and East which had been successfully incorporated into that neighborhood. He said that modem
families needed more living space and that numerous expectations existed within the Bel Aire
neighborhood that two-story home remodel projects would be undertaken.
Houston said that he and his family has asked for no variances and that their project was only 145
square feet (or 8.4%) larger than the largest home in the neighborhood. Mr. Houston also stated
that the privacy and sunlight issues had been addressed and he asked Council to "please allow us
to build our new home."
Ken Berman, architect for Houston/Lee, said that they had tried to address the principles
contained in Section 4.02.07 and to find a "reasonable precedent" for building a two-story home
within the Bel Aire neighborhood.
,-
Berman clarified that the Zoning Code discouraged second story additions or permitted them
with increased setbacks. He said that he felt they provided reasonable setbacks, although the
Zoning Ordinance lacked specific guidance in this area.
In response to the disputed square footage of the project, Mr. Berman said that his calculations
were performed on "autocad," which he had used for 12 years.
Berman said that Section 1.05.07 defined garage space as "an access building or portion of a
main building enclosed on three sides, used primarily for storage of vehicles, bicycles and other
uses." He said that the Houston!Lee garage met the intent of this definition.
Mayor Gram closed the applicant/appellant portion of the hearing.
Vice Mayor Slavitz, commented on the "appearance of mass," asked about the nine-foot plate
and raised floor.
Mr. Berman said that the kitchen and adjacent areas were all slab on grade. However, he said
that the raised floor was more comfortable and noted that his client, Mr. Houston, had knee
problems. He also said that the nine-foot plate created a sense of "spaciousness" and was
compatible with the floor plan.

Councilmember Fredericks asked how much of the back yard was actually useable, given the
existing stand of trees. A discussion ensued about a 20-foot [flood control district] easement.
She asked if that space could be utilized.
Senior Planner Watrous said that a drainage easement per se was not useable, but it would
depend on who owned the particular easement. Councilmember Fredericks commented that
most of the easements in that area were cut offby fences and trees so as to render them unuseable
anyway. Senior Planner Watrous concurred.
Mayor Gram opened the public hearing.
Prudence Starr, 160 Leland Way, lifetime Bel Aire resident, said that the neighborhood could not
be compared to Belveron Gardens, and that the ranch style homes with private patios and
sunlight were important features to Bel Aire residents.
Ms. Starr said that the 50-year tradition of "neighborly consideration" was being undermined by
the Houston/Lee application which she labled a "trophy home." Ms. Starr said that maintaining
the quality oflife in the neighborhood was more crucial than maximizing property values. She
asked that they "re-think" their design.
--
Virginia Brunini, 267 Karen Way, 36-year resident, said that the reason she had fought for
annexation into the Town was because the Bel Aire neighbors wanted a "say" in the development
of the Town. She said that she, and former Mayors Thayer and Nygren had worked on the
Zoning Ordinance language regarding second story additions, and that the word "discouraged"
was meant to be just that.
Ms. Brunini said that the basic Bel Aire house was 1,007 square feet and that by this time over
60% of the homes had been increased in size, nine of which were over 2,000 square feet.
However, she said that the average house size was closer to 1,500-1,600 square feet and that a
recent [one-story] remodel on Claire Way, which was now 1,757 square feet, had just sold for
$975,000.
Ms. Brunini said that while Belveron had done a good job of integrating their two-story
remodels, the DRB should have focused more on the issue of neighborhood character in this
instance. She said that it was important to preserve the values of privacy, sunlight, and
neighborhood compatibility and that approving this application would set a precedent.
Karen Nygren, 22 Pasco Mirasol, former Planning Commissioner and Town Councilmember,
recalled the "long deliberation" on the issue of two-story remodels in the Bel Aire neighborhood
that had taken place when she had been involved in writing the language of the General Plan.
Ms. Nygren said that the language regarding height, sunlight, privacy and neighborhood character
was specifically put into the policy to deal with the Bel Aire neighborhood. She said that
--

-
approval of this application would change the intent of the General Plan, and further stated that
change that was only inevitable if the Council deemed it to be.
Carolyn Shadan, 79 Claire Way, said she was in support of the project. She said that the
Planning Department was "rigorous" and careful, and that the issue of change was similar to the
reaction of the public to the introduction of mini-skirts and long hair.
Gene Zwillinger, 19 Claire Way, said that the neighborhood would change with the introduction
of two story homes, and that his back-yard privacy would be impacted. He concluded that
"quality of life" is what mattered and said that if the footprint of the Houston/Lee proposal could
be expanded into a one-story home, and the Code changed accordingly, he would prefer it.
Brian Zaillian, 43-year resident of Bel Aire, said that while some called Bel Aire the "slums of
Tiburon" he thought that it was a "special place." He said that while he liked Jeff and Tracy
Huston, he realized after viewing the story poles for their proposed home that the "sky was no
longer there." Mr. Zale said he hoped a compromise could be reached in order for the home to
grow "outward" rather than upward.
LeonorNoguez, 346 Karen Way, since May of 2002, said that she did not feel welcome in the
neighborhood and that this issue was devisive. She said that the reasons stated in opposition to
the Houston/Lee project did not withstand scrutiny and that the 1950's homes needed to be
replaced by "family friendly" homes, which did not contain lead paint or asbestos.
-
Vasco Morais, 321 Karen Way, said that before he and his family remodeled their home, they
had considered a two-story solution. However, after taking their neighbors' comments into
account, they were quite comfortable with their 2,500-2,600 square foot one-story home.
Mr. Morais said that there was an informal survey being conducted in the neighborhood, of
which there was currently on a 50% response. He said that of those polled, 59% were not in
favor of second stories, 27% would limit the second stories, 10% were undecided, and 4% were
in favor of no limitations.
Mr. Morais said that he had concluded that some sites could accommodate second stories, but not
the Huston/Lee property.
Leslie Frysh, said that the Belvedere Lagoon had restrictions on how to build second story
homes, with certain height restrictions and setbacks. She suggested that the Town add specific
requirements into its existing guidelines.
Ecker Evess, 65 Monterey Drive, disputing the privacy issue, said that the railroad right-of-way
which passed behind some of the Bel Aire homes in question, was a walkway that allowed
people to see into these backyards.

Thomas Szymoniak, 293 Karen Way, said that he "danced" when he, saw the story poles and that
it was time for a change. He said if the HustonlLee project or other two-story projects were not
allowed, he would in time be "priced out of the neighborhood."
Peter Brooks, 54 Claire Way, while acknowledging that the existing homes had limitations, said
that this application did not "respect" the neighborhood.
Sheman Repal, 254 Cecilia Way, said that he supported the project and that the process had
worked. He said he had no privacy because his home backed up to Bell Market.
Priscilla Wanat, 86 Claire Way, said that while change was inevitable, the current project was out
of scale with the current environment. She said that privacy was extremely important to some,
but not all of the Bel Aire residents. She said that the proposed project was "looming" and
"impressive" and asked what would happen if another one of similar scale was planned for the
other side of the appellants' home. She concluded that this would be "depressing" and
"overwhelming" and said that the Houston!Lee project was too big for the neighborhood.
Elaine Howard, 295 Cecelia Way, said that the kids she grew up with were not "stunted" or
"endangered" and that she was proof because she had just graduated from college.
Andrew Rusting, 263 Cecelia Way, said that there was 4,000 square feet remaining of
developable space on the HoustonlLee lot, which was plenty of room for a one-story home.
-
Pablo Castro, 270 Cecilia Way, said he had moved to this country to "get away from socialism."
He said that Bel Aire was "not a lovely neighborhood" and that he planned to add a second story
to his home in the future. He said that everyone should think about "harmony" and be concerned
about how the HoustonlLee family would feel if they were not allowed to build.
During the appellant's rebuttal period, Jerry Thayer said that the existence ofa pedestrian
pathway behind one's home was different from the "constant intrusion" of a second story house
next door. He said that there were many fine single-story homes in the neighborhood that will be
or have been remodeled and that a single-story home would be compatible with the
neighborhood.
Mr. Thayer said that the Planning Commission was the appropriate forum in which to discuss the
second-story issue further. Thayer said that approval of the Houston!Lee project would result in
"piecemeal" development in the Bel Aire neighborhood.
Mayor Gram closed the public hearing.
Councilmember Thompson led off the Council discussion. He said that he had visited the site
and had viewed it from all angles. He said he had driven every street in the neighborhood. He
said that there were two overlapping issues-the appeal of the DRB approval and the policy
r- regarding second stories.
Tawn Council Minutes # 23-2002
September J 8, 2002
Page 10
-.
Mr. Thompson concluded that the project was inconsistent with the guidelines stated in the
General Plan, and was not compatible on that street in that neighborhood at this time.
He said that the General Plan did not need to be rewritten; that second stories could be "nestled"
into a roofline, and that he was not against second stories per se. However, he said that the
north/south orientation of the street made the application problematic.
Thompson said that while the ORB may have "punted" the decision to the Town Council, it was
the right thing to do. He said he would vote to grant the appeal.
Councilmember Fredericks said that she too understood the needs of younger families, but that
neither that nor the concept of an affordable neighborhood was really the issue. She said the crux
of the matter was whether or not the application conformed with the neighborhood and the
dwellings on adjoining sites.
Fredericks said that this did not mean that every house had to look exactly alike, but said that the
neighborhood goals for deep back yards, and windows of sunlight, were valued. She also said
that the issues of how the proposed home would look, and how high and how wide the second
story was, were not adequately addressed.
Ms. Fredericks said that she did not favor a "blanket prohibition" of second story homes, but that
similar, surrounding remodels could change the neighborhood into "row houses."
-
Councilmember Berger acknowledged that there were cordial people on both sides of this issue.
He stated that he had served four years on ORB and six years on the Planning Commission. He
said that the ORB had approached the issue correctly and had asked for serious changes to the
original plans, and that "blanket proscriptions" were not the way to go.
However, Mr. Berger said that as a Town Councilmember considering policy, he would agree
that Bel Aire was a unique neighborhood. He said that what made it unique was the open back
yards that opened to the sky, just as what made Belvedere Lagoon unique was the opening to the
lagoon. He said this concept was well understood by the Planning Commission who wrote the
words "to discourage" second stories in this area.
Mr. Berger said that it was possible to design "stealth" second stories, but that in this application,
the second story was done at the expense of the surrounding neighbors in order to preserve the
back yard space of the applicant.
Berger concluded that because of the unique neighborhood character, the extra height of the
project which blocked views and sunlight, that he would vote to uphold the appeal. He also
stated, however, that a design was possible that would achieve the applicants' goals as well as to
strengthen the unique quality of the neighborhood.
Vice Mayor Slavitz said that his first home was a 1,007 square foot house at 55 Pamela Court in
-. Bel Aire. He said he bought it precisely because of its "possibilities," and that it did not behoove
Tawn Council Minutes # 23-2002
September 18. 2002
Page 11
,...,
anyone to cut off possibilities. However, he said that resolution of the issue would have to come
down to the sensitivity on each side.
Mr. Slavitz said he thought the proposed house was too big, and that the second story was
"imposing." He recommended redesigning a smaller version or one-story home, and to lower the
nine-foot plate.
Mayor Gram said that DRB appeals were one of the most difficult tasks that faced the Council.
He said that this was not the forum to discuss a second story policy, but that this house was "too
big and too imposing" and that he would vote to uphold the appeal. Mayor Gram agreed that
specific guidelines would be useful but said that this project "didn't fit" the neighborhood.
Town Attorney Danforth then responded to some Council questions concerning denial of an
appeal with or without prejudice, and said that the Town's fee waiver policy did not apply to new
applications.
Councilmember Fredericks that she was concerned about sending a "consistent message" after
hearing the comments of her fellow Councilmembers on second stories.
Councilmember Berger responded that the language of the Code was clear in that it said that
second stories were "strongly discouraged." In other words, according to Berger, "it can be done,
but...".
